"Today's the day! It's Vulkan day! After the better part of two
years of hard work, Vulkan 1.0 is ready to meet the world! Today The
Khronos Group is announcing the release of Vulkan 1.0 with an embargo
that just expired. This hard-launch today is met by the public release
of the first conformant driver. The first Vulkan-powered game is also in
public beta as of today, but the Linux situation as of today isn't
entirely exciting for end-users/gamers as most vendors are still baking
their Linux support with Windows generally taking priority. However,
even ignoring operating system differences, you need to make sure your
expectations are realistic before trying to fire up a Vulkan game while
giving developers time to learn and design for this new graphics API."
